I'd rather write programs to write programs than write programs.

Make sure you're running node 12 or greater. The test suite will fail on older versions of node.

If you add a new generator, make sure to update the list of supported languages in cli.js or else it won't be accessible from the command line. Further, you'll want to update test.js and index.js for your new generator to make it part of the testing.

If you want to add new functionality, start with a test.

• Create a file containing the curl command in

  fixtures/curl_commands

  with a descriptive filename like

  post_with_headers.txt

• Create a file containing the output in

  fixtures/python_output/

  with a matching filename (but different extension) like

  post_with_headers.py

• Run tests with

  npm test

  .
• If your filenames match correctly, you should see one failing test. Fix it by modifying the parser in

  util.js

  or the generators in

  generators/

The parser generates a generic data structure consumed by code generator functions.

You can run a specific test with this command:

node test.js --test=test_name

where "testname" is a file (without extension) in `fixtures/curlcommands`

You can run a specific test with this command:

node test.js --language=R

I recommend setting this up with a debugger so you can see exactly what the parser is passing to the generator. Here's my Intellij run configuration for a single test:

Before submitting a PR, please check that your JS code conforms to the code style enforced by standardjs. Use the following to fix your code if it doesn't:

$ standard --fix my_file.js

If you get stuck, please reach out via email. I am always willing to hop on a google hangout and pair program.
